WaterNow worked with the City of Thornton to develop an incentive program to improve water use efficiency in newly constructed homes. Their goal was a 20% increase in water use efficiency compared to older homes on the market locally.

The primary purpose of this project is to develop a program to incentivize water efficient new home construction. A secondary purpose is to develop resources for other communities interested in implementing a similar program. Our project included five phases: 1) research similar programs and best management practices; 2) engage with local stakeholders; 3) develop program design and identify metrics to track program success; 4) develop an outreach and communications plan.
